A vintage clip of South African broadcasting icon DJ Sbu has gone viral, sending fans down memory lane as they reminisce about his former glory. The video, originally aired on the popular show Top Billing, features the DJ displaying his luxurious home, while cradling his baby girl.
This nostalgic trip has not only reignited admiration for the broadcaster's past but also invited a flurry of comments comparing his previous neat appearance to his current look. Fans expressed their feelings across social media, with many reminiscing about DJ Sbu's polished image.
"DJ Sbu comes from humble beginnings. Growing up in a four-roomed house in Tembisa, sharing space with his cousins. Today, MOFAYA is widely recognised as the first and only 100% Black-owned energy drink brand in South Africa. DJ Sbu made history with it. You can either hate it or be inspired. Your choice."
The resurfaced video got fans talking, as they noticed stark differences in DJ Sbu's style from then to now. Former fans chimed in, nostalgic for the days when he was seen as dapper and sophisticated.
The Fan Takeover
Comments poured in, capturing the sentiment that many believe DJ Sbu looked 'clean' and 'proper' during his earlier days. One user, @pietmashika, stated:
"He looked clean and proper, here. Not this dreadlocked beard version."
Another, @ka_madesi, reminisced about his inspiring presence:
"I miss this version of Sbu. He was very real, inspiring, and stylish. But, hey, this Rasta one is not the one."
However, not all feedback was complimentary. Some fans cast doubt on DJ Sbu's claims regarding his luxurious past, with @I_am_innock reminding followers:
"Do not be misled by Sbu's schemes. After this episode was featured on Top Billing, the true owner of the house called the SABC to assert that it was his property and that Sbu was just a tenant for a week."
As the discussion continued, other users backed up this sentiment, suggesting he was renting the lavish home. @Mnkunga123 aptly summarized the broader discourse:
"Sbu just wanted to make it to the show Top Billing by any means necessary. It was obvious the house was not his in many ways if you really take notice of a few things around and how he carries himself."
While DJ Sbu's hustle may be inspiring, the video has certainly stirred a mix of nostalgia, criticism, and amusement amongst fans and onlookers alike.
DJ Sbu and IShowSpeed: More Drama Ensues
The chatter around DJ Sbu doesn’t stop with nostalgia. He recently faced criticism for allegedly trying too hard to connect with the young influencer, IShowSpeed. Although the broadcaster clarified that he was not 'fanboying,' the trolling persists, showcasing the ever-watchful eyes of social media.
